    One night as some men were passing by our gate in Cloneyhurke, Portarlington, a woman dressed in white came forth and stopped the men.One of them got such a fright that his hat fell off. They were speechless, and after a while they turned back,When the men got courage they came back, the woman was gone and the man's hat was there,
